ale. "Don't smear Gu Chi any further!"Hearing Su Ke Xin still arguing for Gu Chi, Gu Yihan's anger grew deeper, and he instantly forgot that the incident from ten years ago was forbidden to discuss. H...After a night's rest, Gu Ke Yu recovered some of her strength. She quickly packed up and didn't even have time to eat breakfast before running out of the apartment.

She had called Lu Jiayan several times on the road, but all she got was a busy signal. No one answered.

Gu Ke Yu's mood became heavier with each phone call. The only place she knew Lu Ji Yan might be was the hospital, so she immediately called a car and rushed to the hospital where Lu Yuan Zhan was.

But what disappointed Gu Ke Yu was that in the ward, there was only Lu Yuan Zhan lying quietly on the bed. Not only was Lu Ji Yan not there, but even Lin Yi Yi, who usually never left his side, was not by his bedside.

She didn't push the door open and go in. Lu Yuanzhuan wasn't someone she wanted to see right now; going there might only worsen his condition. Gu Ke Yu just took a quick glance before turning around and leaving the hospital. She didn't have any scenes to film today, and she didn't feel like going back to her apartment just yet.

Gu Ke Yu clutched her handbag, staring at her feet as she slowly strolled along the path outside the hospital. She wandered aimlessly for a while, unsure of where she had ended up.

It seems like we've arrived at the city center now. There are large shopping malls on both sides, and many jewelry stores with elaborate facades.

The glittering treasures inside caught Gu Ke'yu's attention, especially when she saw a familiar pair of figures. She was stunned on the spot.

"Yan Ge, what do you think of this ring" Lin Yiyi held up a pigeon egg-sized diamond ring in her hand, she said to Lu Ji with a smile and some shyness.

Lu Jien faced the jewelry counter, Gu Ke Yu could only see his back, and he didn't know what he said. Lin Yiyi's smile on her face became even wider, and finally she said something to the salesperson.

The clerk carefully took the pigeon egg-sized diamond ring and immediately put it in a jewelry box, carefully wrapping it before placing it in a handbag and handing it to Lin Yiyi.

So it seems Lü Jiayan had a reason for not answering his phone. Isn't he busy choosing an engagement ring with Lin Yiyi at a jewelry store right now

The scene inside was simply too eye-catching. Gu Keyu could only look at it with heartache, unable to breathe. She stood at the door of the jewelry store and didn't go in. She just stared blankly at the couple of stone men.

"Miss, our store has recently received many new jewelry designs. Would you like to come and have a look with me" The sales lady in her uniform walked up to Gu Ke'yu and politely said.

Lu Jiayan and Lin Yiyi, who were standing beside the counter, both turned around at the same time, their gazes falling on Gu Keyu's face. Gu Keyu didn't move, she just stared fixedly at Lu Jiayan.

And she distinctly noticed a hint of panic on his face. Her legs felt rooted to the spot, unable to move at all. In truth, she desperately wanted to flee.

Lin Yiyi crossed her arms and looked at Gu Ke'yu with a smug gaze, even extending her hand to casually drape it over Lu Jiyan's arm.

Now that the scene was exciting, Gu Ke'yu could not stay any longer. She immediately turned around and ran away from the jewelry store.

"Ke Yu!" Gu Ke Yu continued to run forward, Lu Ji Yan also followed closely behind and shouted loudly at her.

Gu Ke'yu soon felt a strong arm grasp her hand. Lu Jiayan turned back, anxiously saying to her, "Ke'yu, don't leave yet, I have something to tell you!"

"At this point, is there anything else you want to say" Gu Ke'yu fiercely shook off Lu Jiayan's arm and looked at him, saying with a sneer.

"You're not going to explain why you picked out a ring here today, are you You're getting engaged soon, so why did you keep this from me before"

Soon Lü Jiyan reached out and tightly gripped Gu Ke'yu's arm, like an iron clamp. This time, Gu Ke'yu couldn't break free at all.

"I didn't pick the ring out with her, I just accompanied her. I didn't say anything at all."

Lu Jiayan tried to explain in a few words, but he felt himself digging a deeper hole. He reached out and pressed his temples twice, then said awkwardly to Gu Ke'yu: "Ke'yu, don't worry first, I will explain all these things to you slowly later."

"I'm not worried at all! I've never been this calm in my whole life. You really want to secretly marry her with me on your back" Gu Ke Yu also felt that he had never been so sharp-tongued in his life.

Lu Jiayan helplessly tightened his grip on Gu Keyu, pulling her into his embrace. He held her tightly and said with a hint of helplessness, "Do you really have to speak to me like this now"

"Hmph! Are you finding my words sharp now Lin Yiyi is gentle and considerate, go talk to her if you have anything to say, don't keep pestering me!" Gu Ke'yu struggled hard trying to push him away, but Lu Jiayan was simply too strong. No matter how she struggled, this person didn't budge at all.

Lu Jichen let out a long sigh on Gu Keyu's head, then held her even tighter: "Can you calm down now This engagement wasn't something I willingly agreed to. I'm very sad too. It was Si Nian who forced my dad to bring me here yesterday."

"You know my dad's health is very bad now, how could I dare to stimulate him anymore."

Gu Ke'yu knew very well the predicament Lu Jiayan was in now. She understood the reason, but when the truth stood before her eyes, no one could remain indifferent. This was the man she loved, and the bride wasn't her.

"Don't worry, I won't get engaged. I will definitely stop this ceremony. For the rest of my life, I can't possibly marry any woman besides you." Lu Jiayan held Gu Ke Yu's shoulder and said to her affectionately.

"So you'll promise me now to go back and wait for me peacefully Once I take care of all this, I'll naturally come looking for you."

His words were filled with deep emotion, his brows furrowed with a mixture of grievance and pleading. Gu Ke Yu looked at him and his heart softened instantly.

Although Gu Ke Yu was usually quick and efficient with everything else, when it came to love, she was completely clueless, like an idiot. She listened to Lu Ji Yan's words but couldn't bring herself to speak another word. All she could do was wrap her arms around his muscular waist.

After receiving a direct response from Gu Ke Yu, Lu Ji Yan finally let out a sigh of relief. As if afraid that Gu Ke Yu would once again ignore him, he sincerely said to Gu Ke Yu, "You believe me."aid that she would change her mind and refuse his request in an instant."I thought something was up, just tell me straight! You've been teasing me all morning."After rolling her eyes at Tang Lijia hel...
